Make their first impression the last place they look! Whether moving across country or across town, people who are relocating want to make a fresh start. According to Moving Targets, a direct marketing firm, new residents spend an average of $7,100 on goods and services directly attributable to their relocations.

Furthermore, during the first 24 months after a move, an estimated 80% of movers will likely try new products and services from local suppliers and during that time, new residents spend four to six times as much as non-movers on everything from air conditioners to takeout meals. And that makes it very important that you get your name in front of prospective customers first! Extend a warm welcome to relocated businesses and individuals new to Hampton Roads with an ad in the region’s oldest running newcomer’s magazine, “This is Hampton Roads.” Chances are, you’ll gain a new, loyal customer!

2014/2015 Military Partners

Long recognizing the undeniable impact defense spending and the U.S. military’s presence locally have on the local economy, the Chamber established several military recognition events, some dating back more than half a century, to give the business community an opportunity to express their appreciation to those who serve this country and have put Hampton Roads on the map.

But it’s more than defense spending and economic impact, it’s about the opportunity for the business community, as a whole, to celebrate and honor the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to preserve our liberty.
